A broken-hearted hit man moves to the desert where he finds skilled swordsmen to carry out his contract killings. In 2008, Wong Kar Wai re-edited and re-released the film under the title Ashes of Time Redux that, despite the digital restoration, presents a shorter cut. The redux version is at the moment the only good-quality edition available on the market (theatres and home video). (Source: IMDb, Wikipedia)
